I almost forgot what happened last week but I kept a note of everything in my BuJo. <br /><ol><li>I didn't get BTS concert ticket :( I successfully placed the order in my cart and checked-out BUT I chose the wrong payment method. I chose BCA KlikPay and since the website traffic was really heavy, the payment failed and my ticket expired 3 hours later. OMG I was so heart broken. The ticket was right in front of me, I had the money, but I couldn't pay it. Lesson learned, next time I better pay using Bank Transfer!&nbsp;</li><li>There was a problem with my youtube earnings/google adsense thing.&nbsp; I couldn't see my money from my March earning in my Adsense account. I contacted Youtube support team and they explained a little bit but I still think that it didn't answer my problem. I guess I'll have to wait until 18 April and contact them again if there's still no payment.</li><img alt="IMG_3414" height="1600" src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2901/33157298763_4715ba7398_h.jpg" width="1200" /><li>I brought <a href="http://www.instagram.com/codythexplorer" target="_blank">Cody</a> to get his 2nd vaccination at the vet. He was well behaved at the vet, a little bit scared of new environment. When we were inside, the nurse (?) held onto him and he screamed and crying as if someone was going to kidnap him. lol. I guess he's scared with new people. But when the vet shot him with the vaccine, he didn't cry at all. lol. My puppy is so cute :D</li><li>Cody is allowed to eat fruits now. His first fruit was Papaya.</li><img alt="IMG_3400" height="1600" src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2816/33126644214_a62e92c69f_h.jpg" width="1200" /><li>Went to First Friday Mass and after that we went to my sister ex-high school to have lunch. I had Ketoprak. If you want to eat real Indonesian food with the best taste, go to local school. They have the real Indonesian Delicacies :p</li><li>Went to Palm Sunday mass, can't believe it's Holy Week already!&nbsp;</li></ol>Angelina S.https://plus.google.com/117881637226596551681noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5146840808770555132.post-56645085257215231152017-04-05T01:12:00.001-07:002017-04-05T01:12:35.322-07:00RSS Feed problem with Bloglovin<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Vbut62xhRyA/WOSm63AiFvI/AAAAAAAABmU/CuoaAly9d3UkEBn056vaSR5aMzJoXPJsgCLcB/s1600/techtalk01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Vbut62xhRyA/WOSm63AiFvI/AAAAAAAABmU/CuoaAly9d3UkEBn056vaSR5aMzJoXPJsgCLcB/s1600/techtalk01.jpg" /></a></div><br />Here's another Tech Talk. So after I successfully migrated from Wordpress to Blogger yesterday, I found another problem. My Bloglovin Feed is not updating my blog. It doesn't show my new post that I wrote using the new platform.<br /><br />I contacted Bloglovin support and they said my RSS Feed is invalid (you can check your feed <a href="https://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.lovedreamhappiness.com%2Ffeeds%2Fposts%2Fdefault" target="_blank">here</a>).<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-JEb4x8RZ7Fs/WOSgwmgtjCI/AAAAAAAABlo/qfnba75ThnMu81jLAE9NNfAutR2WvWaPACLcB/s1600/www_lovedreamhappiness_com%25252Ffeeds%25252Fposts%25252Fdefault.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="rss feed error" border="0" height="390" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-JEb4x8RZ7Fs/WOSgwmgtjCI/AAAAAAAABlo/qfnba75ThnMu81jLAE9NNfAutR2WvWaPACLcB/s640/www_lovedreamhappiness_com%25252Ffeeds%25252Fposts%25252Fdefault.png" title="rss feed error" width="640" />&nbsp;</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">&nbsp; </div>I googled the problem and could not find anything at first. Then someone mentioned that the problem is the geolocation in one of the post. Bloglovin cannot recognize geolocation so I removed my location, and voila! The feed is valid now. I'll test it after this.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_fV9vF3669g/WOSl3MSEsXI/AAAAAAAABmI/uRQ2GLAaJy411rHyWPV-3xVFQ9-Li0faACLcB/s1600/LDH2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="242" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_fV9vF3669g/WOSl3MSEsXI/AAAAAAAABmI/uRQ2GLAaJy411rHyWPV-3xVFQ9-Li0faACLcB/s640/LDH2.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><br /><br />Angelina S.https://plus.google.com/117881637226596551681noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5146840808770555132.post-11941660183743796272017-04-03T03:33:00.003-07:002017-04-05T01:13:40.492-07:00Moving From Wordpres to Blogger<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ptgCIP373ac/WOSnLNoMJjI/AAAAAAAABmY/nZkdLdgBFUMRMzfNckerJEst-6gjXTpJgCLcB/s1600/wptoblogger.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ptgCIP373ac/WOSnLNoMJjI/AAAAAAAABmY/nZkdLdgBFUMRMzfNckerJEst-6gjXTpJgCLcB/s1600/wptoblogger.jpg" /></a></div><br />Today I will share my experience of migrating my posts from Wordpress to Blogger. It is not as easy as migrating Blogger to Wordpress or Wordpress.com to Wordpress.org (self host). <br /><br />The reasons I want to move my blog to blogger :<br /><ul><li>Because opening wordpress is really slow from my place. It takes time to load the wordpress admin interface. I don't know why but maybe it's my internet connection or maybe my hosting.</li><li>I know a lot of people are migrating from Blogger to Wordpress for growing their blog, I help a lot of people to do that. But I just want to have a simple blog. I am not planning to grow this blog bigger.&nbsp;</li><li>I already own a wordpress blog, I know many wordpress capabilities, I'm a Wordpress theme designer after all. lol.&nbsp;</li><li>I always want a Blogger.com Blog</li><li>But I have to say, moving posts from Wordpress to Blogger is not an easy job to do. In Wordpress, you can use a plugin to migrate the content from Blogger. But what if you want to move your blog from Wordpress to Blogger? Blogger doesn't use plugin. This is one of Blogger shortfall. </li></ul>You thought that is is as simple as exporting the content from Wordpress and upload it to Blogger directly?<br /><br />It is not.<br /><br />Blogger has different formating with Wordpress. You have to to convert your wordpress content to Blogger readable data. <br /><br />I googled a way to convert and landed on a broken link site http://wordpress2blogger.appspot.com <br /><br />What should I do next? I googled again. Someone was uploading the tools to convert but it runs on Phyton language. OMG I am not going to spend my time to study Phyton. So that's not an option. <br /><br />So my last solution is uploading the post one by one manually. Yes, copy and paste the contents and images. Fortunately, I was not a very diligent blogger, I only have 32 posts from the past 2 years. LOL. I don't update this blog as frequently as my other blog. And all my images are hosted at Flickr, So I do not need to save the images to my computer again and re-upload it. <br /><br />After finished migrating the content, now is time to migrate the domain. Migrating domain from one place to another is easy as pie. This is part of my service at my shop. I've been doing this frequently. And now as you can see, you can access my new blog at Blogger.com :)<br /><br />Hopefully I will write often here. Finger crossed.

This Kikki K planner is my recent haul from Kikki-K website. I got this <a href="http://www.kikki-k.com/2016-leather-time-planner-medium-watermelon">2016 LEATHER TIME PLANNER MEDIUM: WATERMELON</a> &nbsp;when it's on 50% SALE OFF and I couldn't resist the temptation. I made a promise myself before&nbsp;that I won't be&nbsp;needing another planner but when they put '<i>almost</i>' everything on SALE, I told myself I must get this. I mean, come on it's 50% off<br /><br />I had been using my <a href="http://lovedreamhappiness.com/2015/09/kikki-k-ice-blue-planner-medium/">Kikki K Perforated Ice Blue Planner</a> and I've been looking for a pink one. This Watermelon planner is the closest thing they have. Actually it's not really pink, sometimes it looks pink sometimes peach. It's a bit hard to get the right picture on camera. But in real life it's really pretty! <a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/badlydrawn/24456233466/in/dateposted-public/" title="KIKKI K Watermelon Planner medium"><img alt="KIKKI K Watermelon Planner medium" height="800" src="https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1684/24456233466_c4ebd5f785_o.jpg" width="1200" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script><br /><h2>Elastic Strap vs Button</h2><a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/badlydrawn/24661909136/in/dateposted-public/" title="Kikki K Planners"><img alt="Kikki K Planners" height="2391" src="https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1547/24661909136_8cc57f3109_o.jpg" width="3348" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script> Having both planner, I have to say I prefer the button one. The button planner doesn't deform the body of the planner while the elastic strap does. If you have quite a lot of stuff inside your planner, the edges are slightly bent. And also&nbsp;the strap is&nbsp;leaving a mark on the leather. But if you're okay with that, go ahead buy this version. <a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/badlydrawn/24320519699/in/dateposted-public/" title="kikki k watermelon planner"><img alt="kikki k watermelon planner" height="788" src="https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1458/24320519699_faf86549c2_o.jpg" width="1103" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script><br /><h2>Kikki K Watermelon Planner&nbsp;Has Smaller Ring</h2>This Kikki K Watermelon Planner has smaller ring compared to the button one. Which means I cannot have a lot of stuff inside my planner :( And also it cannot stay flat at first. You have to <i>train</i> it first. I didn't have to <i>train</i> my <a href="http://lovedreamhappiness.com/2015/09/kikki-k-ice-blue-planner-medium/">Ice Blue</a>&nbsp;to lay flat. It's the main thing that bothered me when I found out about it. <a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/badlydrawn/24456241336/in/dateposted-public/" title="KIKKI K Watermelon Planner medium"><img alt="KIKKI K Watermelon Planner medium" height="800" src="https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1630/24456241336_9be116488e_o.jpg" width="1200" /></a> After almost 1 month using the Watermelon, I started to get use to it. Because I cannot bring a lot of stuff inside it, I'm used to bring a light planner. And yass it's so pretty!! &lt;3 <script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script>Angelina S.https://plus.google.com/117881637226596551681noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5146840808770555132.post-64527802674071278702015-12-23T00:23:00.000-08:002017-04-03T00:26:01.002-07:00FREE Printables : 2016 Bill / Expenses Tracker for Planner<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-B4EteixXtyk/WOH4vswGHZI/AAAAAAAABj4/obCzjafHAiMmcWzi4HHIekVymiaS5eVcACLcB/s1600/billtracker-cover.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-B4EteixXtyk/WOH4vswGHZI/AAAAAAAABj4/obCzjafHAiMmcWzi4HHIekVymiaS5eVcACLcB/s1600/billtracker-cover.jpg" /></a></div>Hello guys!

Singapore is the most frequent country we like to visit. We could go there once a year just because it's near to our country :D When we arrived the weather was not good because of the haze from my own country *<i>so embarassing</i>*. The cloud was all grey but thankfully the Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) was not really high like days before. <b>Garden by The Bay</b> We went here on the second day around the afternoon to catch up the Lantern festival. <a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/badlydrawn/22640180824/in/dateposted-public/" title="Singapore"><img alt="Singapore" height="800" src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/582/22640180824_6f2a2beab5_o.jpg" width="1200" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script> <a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/badlydrawn/22972760700/in/dateposted-public/" title="Singapore"><img alt="Singapore" height="800" src="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5725/22972760700_464f8a570a_o.jpg" width="1200" /></a> <img alt="Singapore" height="500" src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/782/22640167574_126c66424b.jpg" width="333" /> <img alt="Singapore" height="500" src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/628/22972753370_b5935886c4.jpg" width="333" /> <img alt="Singapore" height="800" src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/629/22972756130_e9373c7780_o.jpg" width="1200" /> After GBTB, we spent the night at Orchard Road having $1 ice cream. Since it's not holiday season, the area was not too crowded and&nbsp;it's almost 10pm too :p <img alt="Singapore" height="800" src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/648/22642262723_13b4ea815b_o.jpg" width="1200" /> <b>Sentosa Island</b> On Friday, we went to Sentosa Island. Basically it was just for killing time before going&nbsp;to the SEA Aquarium and Halloween Horror Nights. As you can see, the cloud was really dark almost like cloudy. And I just knew that they have Madame Tussaud here in Singapore. But I didn't go, the admission was pricey ;p&nbsp;Didn't plan to go here, might include this&nbsp;museum on our Thailand trip next year. <img alt="Singapore" height="800" src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/681/22973539150_5d278a59b9_o.jpg" width="1200" /> <img alt="Singapore" height="800" src="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5778/22642252023_2ec1c8d241_o.jpg" width="1200" /> <b>S.E.A Aquarium</b> We've never been here before. So we thought it's a good experience to see what's inside. Turns out it's a beautiful place. <img alt="Singapore" height="800" src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/752/22875255307_05d2078fc1_o.jpg" width="1200" /> <img alt="Singapore" height="800" src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/752/22642245533_ba6a065c25_o.jpg" width="1200" /> <img alt="Singapore" height="800" src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/753/22875249147_caf7e9030a_o.jpg" width="1200" /> <img alt="Singapore" height="800" src="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5624/22875244397_7fd0800dbd_o.jpg" width="1200" /> <b>Universal Studio Singapore : Halloween Horror Nights 5</b> YAY! After 5 years, we finally experienced the Halloween Horror Nights! It's an annual event held by Universal Studio. The HHN5 trailer looked so promising and scary. We went there on the opening night&nbsp;and it's so crowded with teenagers! Many of them went with a group of friend. I didn't see a lot of tourists, mostly locals. The show started at 7pm but I queued already an hour before. Once inside, you can go inside the haunted houses, scare zones, and live entertainments. There're people who will dress like ghosts according to the area theme. There were 4 mazes (haunted house) this year :&nbsp;True Singapore Ghost Stories: The MRT,&nbsp;The Tunnel People,&nbsp;Hell House,&nbsp;Siloso Gateway Block 50. The queue to each houses were different. I suggest that you queue earlier to the one you want to see the most. I only managed to see <b>The Tunnel People</b>. Based on my experience, the longest queue will take around 1,5 hours :| insane, right?! And there're 3&nbsp;scare zones : &nbsp;CONTermination,&nbsp;Hungry Ghosts,&nbsp;The Invaders. I didn't go to CONTermination. Hungry Ghosts were scary enough. And The Invaders are just men dressing in Aliens. Not scary at all. <img alt="Singapore" height="800" src="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5808/22901418059_d0b96f9e32_o.jpg" width="1200" /> <img alt="Singapore" height="800" src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/684/22875241837_09b0d918fc_o.jpg" width="1200" /> Okay, honestly, HHN is more suitable to teenagers than married couple. LOL :)) And the ghosts were&nbsp;not as scary as I imagined before, they just surprise you. They will not touch you, they will just follow you and whisper in your ear. And yeah we can play some of the rides&nbsp;too!&nbsp;It was my first time trying the&nbsp;<b>Battlestar Galactica: HUMAN vs. CYLON</b>. My husband insisted we must play this ride. I hesitated at first but my hubby convinced me that it's safe and I also said to&nbsp;myself "I'm 30 now, now or never". And hubby was right. IT WAS FUN! Too bad after we finished the "HUMAN" ride, the CYCLON was closed for maintenance :( When we're about to go home, the ride was opened but the queue was 1.5 hours wait :( Well, next time maybe :) Tips to go to USS HHN next year : <br /><ol><li>Buy the ticket in advance</li><li>Queue early</li><li>Eat dinner before entering the venue, because you don't want to waste time by queueing for dinner</li><li>After you enter the venue, queue for the rides/haunted house you want to see the most first before trying something else. It gets more and more crowded&nbsp;later.</li></ol>Angelina S.https://plus.google.com/117881637226596551681noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5146840808770555132.post-43604624865538053862015-10-22T00:19:00.000-07:002017-04-03T00:20:09.057-07:00Free Printables : Erin Condren Inspired Weekly Insert for Personal SizeHey Guys!

I admit the sticky notes (the one that's not from Daiso brand) is more expensive there but I just can't help it. I cannot find the ice cream ones in Jakarta. Aren't they the cutest? I almost buy everything but I have to control myself ;p <img alt="2015-10-05 01.50.13 1" height="3120" src="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5679/21845044130_e166224d0d_o.jpg" width="4208" /> Washi tapes and DECO RUSH!!! I cannot control my excitement when I saw them!! Too bad I visited Tokyu Hands on the last day, almost buy everything there :( I got my deco rush plus from Kinokuniya. The washi tapes are from Papermarket and that one box is from Kikki-K. Tokyu Hands also have them, but since my sister is going to Japan and I'm asking her to buy it for me, I didn't buy many washi tapes when I was in Singapore. <img alt="2015-10-05 04.01.04 1" height="3120" src="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5659/21845346418_13c7de77d9_o.jpg" width="4208" /> Pens!!! The Uniball pens (the one in the middle) are cheaper than the one in Jakarta by a little bit :p I only bought the container because I already owned the refills. I also found Fountain pen at Tokyu Hands (second from the right). It writes so smoothly! I miss writing with fountain pen. The last time was like 20years ago .... This is the only thing I bought at&nbsp;TokyuHands. <img alt="2015-10-07 04.59.19 1" height="3120" src="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5827/21990417706_11d5c2abff_o.jpg" width="3898" /> And some stuff I got from Artfriend. Clear block for stamping. By the time I got it, I haven't bought the clear stamps yet, hahaha. Luckily, someone from Indonesian Planner Community sold it when I was checking Instagram and I bought 2 sets, the&nbsp;brand is&nbsp;Love Doki. The magnets are for DIY Page marker. And you know what, better buy it at Daiso because it's only $2 and you will get a roll. I think I got it from Artfriend for $3-$4. And last one, Mini Corner punch. I bought one already from eBay on July but I haven't received my item until now ;_; I didn't want to wait anymore and I bought it immidiately for $9.50. *edit* I asked the seller yesterday and they refunded me. So, when I was in Singapore these are the stores that I visited : <b>PaperMarket Plaza Singapura</b>68 Orchard Road Plaza Singapura B1-12 Singapore 238839 <b>Art Friend Plaza Singapura</b>68 Orchard Road, B1-10/13, Singapore 238839 <b>TOKYU HANDS SINGAPORE Orchard Central</b>181 Orchard Road, #B1-07, Orchard Central, Singapore 238896 <b>Kinokuniya</b>391 Orchard Road, #04-20/20B/20C Ngee Ann City Takashimaya Shopping Centre &nbsp; Not planner related, but I bought this colouring book by <b>Johanna Basford</b> <img alt="2015-10-03 07.07.44 1" height="4208" src="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5766/21410443134_2d970a15ae_o.jpg" width="3120" /> <img alt="2015-10-07 10.43.28 1" height="4208" src="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5715/21845911198_5356dc32c4_o.jpg" width="3120" />&nbsp;Colouring with watercolor because I don't have pencil color yet ;pAngelina S.https://plus.google.com/117881637226596551681noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5146840808770555132.post-71472823559632314322015-09-14T00:14:00.000-07:002017-04-03T00:15:11.314-07:00Kikki-K Ice Blue Planner Medium<img alt="Kikki-K Ice Blue Planner" height="900" src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/648/21079035930_4cc304c310_o.jpg" width="1200" /><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script> Meet my new baby, <a href="http://www.kikki-k.com/perforated-leather-personal-planner-medium-ice-blue" target="_blank">Kikki-K Ice Blue</a> planner in medium size. I've known Kikki-K since I saw their store in Singapore but I never know about their planner until I discovered about it from the planner community. Kikki-K Ice Blue is their latest design. It's launched around July 2015. I bought this around late August and received the item 10 days after. I was surprised how fast the shipping was. In fact, I was surprised how fast indonesian postal service nowadays. I mean I usually wait around 1 month to have my stuff but not anymore now. These days you can 'push' the customer service on twitter and ask them about your package :p Well,&nbsp;they're still&nbsp;not perfect but at least our postal service is getting better :) <img alt="Kikki-K Ice Blue Planner" height="900" src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/672/20644422724_4b76d3870a_o.jpg" width="1200" /> The cover is made from <b>Saffiano leather</b>. And what is Saffiano leather?&nbsp;Saffiano&nbsp;is a treated leather made with the texture pressed on it by a machine. It gives the leather a&nbsp;<b>cross-hatch</b> finish, which is a special diagonal pattern. This calf hide leather is also finished with a <b>wax</b> treatment.&nbsp;As a result, the leather is pretty much scratch resistant, durable and easy to clean. <br /><a name='more'></a>Since I purchased the ice blue color, I received the planner dividers in blue color too. I love this color compared to the peach one. When I received it, the personal info paper is crumpled and one of the tab is&nbsp;torn a little :( But the binder ring is okay. As long as the ring is okay It's ok. But I heard if you received the item in a bad condition, Kikki-K will replace the item and you &nbsp;can keep the old one. So you can have&nbsp;double items&nbsp;:)) About the paper, I'm not very fond of the quality. It's too thin. I prefer my own insert papers made from gold quality paper ;p Overall ... I love my planner :D And see the unboxing process at the end of this post ;p <img alt="Kikki-K Ice Blue Planner" height="900" src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/777/21267126705_496f13afbe_o.jpg" width="1200" /> <img alt="Kikki-K Ice Blue Planner" height="900" src="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5731/21275186921_1e5d16d57c_o.jpg" width="1200" /> <img alt="Kikki-K Ice Blue Planner" height="900" src="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5821/21079031330_af61c74858_o.jpg" width="1200" /> <img alt="Kikki-K Ice Blue Planner" height="900" src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/598/21275185561_97569dfae9_o.jpg" width="1200" /> <img alt="Kikki-K Ice Blue Planner" height="900" src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/587/21079222258_c4b5bc708a_o.jpg" width="1200" /> <iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/2ZrFIWXM5MA" width="560"></iframe>Angelina S.https://plus.google.com/117881637226596551681noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5146840808770555132.post-87743724384767794672015-08-25T00:10:00.000-07:002017-04-03T00:14:35.874-07:00Free Printables : Mini Calendars for Your Planner<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0X3GGCaarLM/WOH1oaGjUMI/AAAAAAAABjg/45L2QPXFA3oRNGdl8HP7U3dkVRe1564cQCLcB/s1600/IMG_20150816_180722-01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0X3GGCaarLM/WOH1oaGjUMI/AAAAAAAABjg/45L2QPXFA3oRNGdl8HP7U3dkVRe1564cQCLcB/s1600/IMG_20150816_180722-01.jpg" /></a></div><br />Hello Planner Lovers, Last week I made some mini calendars for my planner while I was waiting for an appointment. I put these calendars in between my weekly inserts so I don't need to go back and forth to my front page.

And this post has been sitting on my draft for about 2 months untouched! Anyway, I'm so into organizing my life with planner at the moment. Thanks to instagram and etsy! Here's a bit of history back when I was still using planner in school.&nbsp;When I was in school, I already love writing in my <b>organizer</b> (we used to call it like that) but back then I didn't have the tools/skills to <i>beautify</i> my planner, it's kind of boring. And digital era makes everything easier. So the hobby just stopped. And a few months ago, I found a planner community on instagram by accident. I remember I used to have a small planner. I searched for it and I found an old planner of mine in my 'treasure box'. It's full of embarassing stuff and cheesy high school lifes journal. It's so embarassing! I don't even want to read them anymore. The planner I had is a pocket size/smallest size planner. Actually this pocket planner is too small for my daily activities. And then I &nbsp;bought a new one&nbsp; from instagram in personal size. It's not a branded planner but it has so many cute covers. I also found an unused planner&nbsp;in&nbsp;A5 size. It's a souvenir from a computer company&nbsp;but the cover is pretty classy, business-like. Not my fave tbh.&nbsp;&nbsp;It's too big to bring it in my bag. I also remember I have a Starbucks planner that my boyfriend (now husband) gave to me but I forgot where I put it :( Still eyeing for Kikki K planners. I missed their sales a few months ago :( Oh well.. I'll be waiting for it next year :D I'm planning to get one in personal size when I visit Singapore in October. I hope there'll be new designs in store :D <br /><h4>Inside my personal planner</h4><img alt="Planner Setup" height="732" src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/546/20201764709_26147ae631_o.jpg" width="900" /> <script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script>Above is my planner dashboard.&nbsp;I purchased the triangles dashoard from <a href="http://mypaperlovestudio.etsy.com/" target="_blank">MyPaperLoveStudio</a> on Etsy along with the "This week" and "Today" dividers.&nbsp;&nbsp;I prefer to write in my&nbsp;weekly/daily inserts more. <img alt="Planner Setup" height="600" src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/362/20394561631_cd4fcaa45d_o.jpg" width="900" /><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script> Here's my Monthly view. Usually at the beginning of the month, I don't have a lot of stuff to write and I don't usually update my monthly view regularly. <img alt="Planner Setup" height="600" src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/287/19767471853_fde53294b5_o.jpg" width="900" /> <script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script>This is my week #33 (next week). I'm testing a&nbsp;new planner insert with 'erin condren' look alike template. It's designed in a hurry and I'm not satisfied with the result. As you can see on the picture, I'm using my new MT washi tapes xD (except the blue one at the bottom). <img alt="Planner Setup" height="638" src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/426/20201763949_5a28d99cf2_o.jpg" width="900" /><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script> If you're curious how my week 32 looks like, here's the picture. I don't decorate my planner with cute&nbsp;stickers because I use my planner for works so there'll be a lot of scratches here and there ;p I think it's a waste to use cute stickers for this planner. I like my planner inserts simple so I could decorate it with washi tapes and stickers. But I bought my "TODAY" insert from Etsy shop, <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/EllemonDesigns" target="_blank">Ellemondesigns</a>. I didn't have a TODAY insert before, everything is cluttered into the weekly page. It's so messy! I didn't have time to design one myself so I decided to purchase it. Of course, I'm very selective to my choice - am a hard to please kind of person -. I like her simple design and I think it matches my style. Plus, the insert has everything I need. It's so perfect! And by the way, my "today" view is plainly boring. mostly just my writing of daily schedule or what projects to be done by today. <br /><h4>Planner&nbsp;Goodies</h4><a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/badlydrawn/20362150856/in/dateposted-public/" title="Planner Setup"><img alt="Planner Setup" height="600" src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/367/20362150856_14db5589f5_o.jpg" width="900" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script>I get my basic supplies from local shop here in Jakarta or buy them online. &nbsp;My favourite pen to write on my planner is uniball (a BIG FAN of this brand!)

But sometimes those cute stationaries are screaming at me to be bought. So...

We didn't visit many places because of the hectic schedule. We only spent like 4 days there and we stayed at the hotel most of the time. My only free times were only on Friday night and Saturday. That's OK! We can visit again later, beside the purpose of this trip is attending my cousin's wedding :) It is never boring to go to this beautiful island. So many new cafes/restaurants and the beaches are beautiful. The airport is wayyyyy better than 6 months ago. I'm very surprised with the new airport. It's even better than the one we have here in Jakarta. It's very nice :) My husband, my sister, and I arrived first. My other families came the next day. Our plane got delayed :( We arrived around dinner time. Went to Seminyak area, it's too crowded! But we're so hungry so we decided to visit the least crowded cafe here. I wanted to try <b>Ultimo</b> but there're like 10 more people in the waiting list. So, our choice was <b>The Coffee Library</b>. The food is ok, the meat is tough.&nbsp;The service is very&nbsp;slow! Our food came like 30-45 minutes later :( We're so hungry&nbsp;don't have energy to&nbsp;get mad,plus&nbsp;the waiters are nice so we just let it go and just want to eat our food. After that we went back to the hotel because it's already 11pm and we must wake up in the morning to pick up my family at the airport and had lunch at <b>Ayam Betutu Gilimanuk </b>which is delicious! The sambal is very spicy. After lunch, we went to <b>Pandawa Beach</b>. The view is nice and the beach is not so crowded. I love it here! Too bad it's raining when we got there :( BUT!&nbsp;Must at least play on the beach for a while. Don't want to waste our only precious time here without taking photos on the beach :p After visiting the beach, we went to the hotel and met my other relatives there. There's family dinner that night. And the next day is the wedding day. Seeing people busy preparing the wedding, &nbsp;I'm kind of missed it too :D The wedding took place in Tirtha Uluwatu and it's a beautiful place to wed. Didn't want to bore you with the details so let's just enjoy the photos&nbsp;bellow &nbsp;;) <br /><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Day 1</b></div><img alt="Bali Day 1" height="800" src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8803/17229991904_0d5a875607_o.jpg" width="1200" /> <img alt="Bali Day 1" height="800" src="https://c4.staticflickr.com/8/7686/17232103143_7d90bd2623_o.jpg" width="1200" /> <img alt="Bali Day 1" height="800" src="https://c4.staticflickr.com/8/7782/17232111103_d96b112453_o.jpg" width="1200" /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"></div><a name='more'></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Day 2</b></div><img alt="Food food food" height="1530" src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8858/17962789658_be4a612267_k.jpg" width="2048" /> <img alt="Food food food" height="1530" src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8763/17530106903_1ec089ab6e_k.jpg" width="2048" /> <img alt="Pandawa Beach" height="675" src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8791/17528195104_5c14f8d5e0_o.jpg" width="1200" /> <img alt="Pandawa Beach" height="675" src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8816/18124309316_d960e3f168_o.jpg" width="1200" /> <img alt="Pandawa Beach" height="675" src="https://c4.staticflickr.com/8/7748/18150816105_f88b5b7be4_o.jpg" width="1200" /> <img alt="Pandawa Beach" height="800" src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8828/18151926901_f5dd641a0c_o.jpg" width="1200" /> <img alt="Bali" height="800" src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8867/17963104018_a0afc80ff5_o.jpg" width="1200" /> <img alt="Bali" height="800" src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8880/17963295010_d23dc04165_o.jpg" width="1200" /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Day 4</b></div><img alt="Bali" height="800" src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8798/18151092735_e6e42c15bd_o.jpg" width="1200" /> <img alt="Bali" height="800" src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8856/18147554942_7218fcf954_o.jpg" width="1200" /> <img alt="Bali" height="800" src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8797/17528498214_1cc9034209_o.jpg" width="1200" /> Where's day 3?

We took the first flight so we can have more time to explore the city. I didn't visit many places while I was there because of the limited time.&nbsp;I didn't get a change to&nbsp;visit Bunaken :( Well, let's come back again next time just to enjoy the city :) This is my first time coming to his hometown. I got to know my husband ancestors, learned&nbsp;the language a little bit, had the best seafood (we came back for 3 times!), and got changes to taste authentic Manadonese food :) The culinary experience was fun! Enjoy the photos!<br /><img alt="Garuda indonesia" height="667" src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7675/16864511978_05321f3811_o.jpg" width="1000" /> Enjoying in flight entertainment for this 3,5 hours long flight, watching TAZZA The Hidden Card- starring BIGBANG TOP. The movie is pretty good! Please mind the subtitle though :D &nbsp; <img alt="Garuda Indonesia" height="667" src="https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8776/17026297296_fe073553db_o.jpg" width="1000" /> My Breakfast &nbsp; <img alt="Hello Manado" height="667" src="https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8690/16432040653_182b90d35d_o.jpg" width="1000" /> <img alt="Hello Manado" height="667" src="https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8745/16864407198_de7f0b684b_o.jpg" width="1000" /> The airport is located in the middle of these hills. These sceneries&nbsp;will&nbsp;be seen before&nbsp;you landed in Manado :) &nbsp; <img alt="IMG_1458" height="747" src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7709/17051367421_04baf1cd21_o.jpg" width="1000" /> <img alt="DSCF0207" height="667" src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7601/17050721622_93b751623c_o.jpg" width="1000" /> First stop : <b>Rumah Makan Pondok Teterusan</b>. We had <b>Ikan Mujair&nbsp;Bakar&nbsp;Sambal Rica with Cah Kangkung</b>. It was delicious. This is my first time eating Mujair and it doesn't taste weird at all. The fish doesn't smell and the sambal Rica was very hot and spicy! It's the spiciest sambal I tasted in Manado. You have to try this :D &nbsp; <img alt="DSCF0213" height="667" src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7590/17051644411_f272ffa9a1_o.jpg" width="1000" /> <img alt="DSCF0215" height="667" src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7592/16866236079_eace65fbcf_o.jpg" width="1000" /> <img alt="DSCF0260" height="667" src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7591/16866237019_cf66a9225a_o.jpg" width="1000" /> We arrived at the hotel in the afternoon. We stayed at <b>Swiss Bell Hotel Maleosan</b>. The room is big, clean, and located in the middle of the city. In front of the hotel, there're KFC, Gelael (mini market), Indomaret, Noodle House Cafe (in case if you miss Chinese food while you're in Manado you can try this restaurant), and&nbsp;Rumah Makan Raja Oci (They say it's one of the best Oci fish restaurant). The breakfast is good too! From local (Bubur Manado) to western food. &nbsp; For dinner, we went to <b>City Extra</b> in <b>Malalayang</b>. This is the highlight of the culinary trip :D I recommend this restaurant to everyone. The husband's family used to go to Ria Rio restaurant (similar concept and food) but it's closed now and they opened a new restaurant called Wahaha Restaurant). Too bad we went here at night, because we cannot see the sea view. This restaurant is very big and everytime I come, they always have a large gathering here. The minus of this restaurant is if you came to this place when there're large group of people, you have to wait your food for almost 30 minutes!! It's insane! BUT, the food is worth to wait ;_; It's too good! Must try : <b>Ikan GOROPA Bakar</b> and<b> Ikan GOROPA Woku</b>. Goropa means Grouper in English or Kerapu in Indonesian. <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/badlydrawn/16845176547" title="City Extra manado by Angelina S., on Flickr"><img alt="City Extra manado" height="667" src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7725/16845176547_cef5d68c17_o.jpg" width="1000" /></a> <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/badlydrawn/17051120412" title="City Extra manado by Angelina S., on Flickr"><img alt="City Extra manado" height="667" src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7641/17051120412_c2feaa4fb7_o.jpg" width="1000" /></a> <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/badlydrawn/16430148864" title="City Extra manado by Angelina S., on Flickr"><img alt="City Extra manado" height="667" src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7603/16430148864_633a749b59_o.jpg" width="1000" /></a> They have this large pond filled with sea water. &nbsp; <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/badlydrawn/16866366359" title="City Extra manado by Angelina S., on Flickr"><img alt="City Extra manado" height="667" src="https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8687/16866366359_a2a3bf1300_o.jpg" width="1000" /></a> Fish from the ocean.

This is my favourite! &nbsp; <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/badlydrawn/16866364349" title="City Extra manado by Angelina S., on Flickr"><img alt="City Extra manado" height="667" src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7616/16866364349_53291bc28f_o.jpg" width="1000" /></a> Cah kangkung (left) and Cumi Goreng Tepung (right). &nbsp; <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/badlydrawn/16432440553" title="City Extra manado by Angelina S., on Flickr"><img alt="City Extra manado" height="667" src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7630/16432440553_6a5a0450cc_o.jpg" width="1000" /></a> This is <b>Ikan Goropa Woku</b> (Woku is a typical Manadonese sauce). <b>Woku</b> consist of ground spices paste; red ginger, turmeric, candlenut and red chili pepper, mixed with chopped shallot, scallion, tomato, lemon or citrus leaf and turmeric leaf, lemon basil leaf and bruised lemongrass. A very&nbsp;Delicious fragrance! &nbsp; <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/badlydrawn/16430147134" title="City Extra manado by Angelina S., on Flickr"><img alt="City Extra manado" height="667" src="https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8763/16430147134_2520f00a81_o.jpg" width="1000" /></a> Sambal Rica (back) and Sambal Dabu-dabu (front). Perfect companion for <i>any&nbsp;</i>grilled fish&nbsp;:) &nbsp; Second day in Manado, we planned to go to Bunaken today but it's canceled. Save it for next year :D <i>crossfinger</i>. <img alt="DSCF0245" height="667" src="https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8716/16857030507_854ef9b1fb_o.jpg" width="1000" /> Morning view from the hotel &nbsp; <img alt="DSCF0247" height="667" src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7703/16876884910_a4ee28dcf0_o.jpg" width="1000" /> <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/badlydrawn/16878203559" title="DSCF0249 by Angelina S., on Flickr"><img alt="DSCF0249" height="667" src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7619/16878203559_7c44a85e6d_o.jpg" width="1000" /></a> The egg station &nbsp; <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/badlydrawn/16878202419" title="DSCF0253 by Angelina S., on Flickr"><img alt="DSCF0253" height="667" src="https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8726/16878202419_29de878be9_o.jpg" width="1000" /></a> My omelette with additional sausage and creamy potato. The creamy potato is delicious! After breakfast, we went to <b>Tomohon </b>to visit<b> Danau Linow</b>. &nbsp; <img alt="Tomohon" height="660" src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7652/16877138790_7543dacab9_o.jpg" width="1000" /> "Christ blessing" statue, Manado icon (left). On the right, Christian&nbsp;Cross is placed along the road to celebrate Good Friday/Easter. I found a lot of Cross in Manado.&nbsp;Christianity is big in Manado. You can find a lot of churches in Manado, like every 10 metres you'll find church. &nbsp; <img alt="Tomohon" height="667" src="https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8692/16878454009_bbd5ae1be1_o.jpg" width="1000" /> <img alt="Tomohon" height="667" src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7615/17038697916_e21e2a206b_o.jpg" width="1000" /> <img alt="Tomohon" height="660" src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7623/17063900351_84d1f711f1_o.jpg" width="1000" /> <img alt="Tomohon" height="660" src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7660/16877179490_340569958f_o.jpg" width="1000" /> <img alt="danau linow" height="667" src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7635/16899316270_fd45bfef93_o.jpg" width="1000" /> After a long way from the city, you can rest here at <b>Danau Linow</b>, enjoying afternoon snacks with this beautiful view. Too bad it's raining when we arrived. After visiting that place, we went back to the hotel, rest, and went out for dinner. We decided to go just the 2 of us and relied on&nbsp;Google Maps. It's&nbsp;<b>City Extra</b> again ;D Gosh, I love this place so much :D <img alt="DSCF0351" height="667" src="https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8712/16857490157_014cff7985_o.jpg" width="1000" /> <img alt="DSCF0353" height="667" src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7589/16444737233_b94f29659f_o.jpg" width="1000" /> We had Ikan Goropa again. They have Red Goropa and White Goropa. This time we tried Goropa merah for the grilled one. The soup is called Ikan Goropa Kuah Asam. It's good too! Delicious and fragrant. These two plus Cah Kangkung, Rice, and Mineral water costs us around Rp 200.000,- The next day, we didn't have a change to have breakfast at the hotel. We went early in the morning to visit the grave, clean it, and pray. After visiting the ancestors, we had breakfast at <b>Wakeke</b>. It is famous for its Bubur Manado :) <img alt="DSCF0337" height="660" src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7698/17063280782_082ca311f5_o.jpg" width="1000" /> <img alt="DSCF0328" height="667" src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7618/17063279572_3d09926993_o.jpg" width="1000" />I tried their <b>Mie Cakalang</b>. It tastes OK, but it's not too savory. Have to add more salt and sambal to add more flavour to the soup. &nbsp; <img alt="Bubur Manado" height="660" src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7644/16442277994_d750204fca_o.jpg" width="1000" /><b>Bubur Manado</b>! The top one is also Bubur Manado but with noodle. I don't know that we can add noodle to the porridge! But I go with the normal one, no noodle. It tastes sooooo goood! The top right is fried fish, forgot what it's called. But it's delicious! &nbsp; <img alt="DSCF0331" height="667" src="https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8810/17063978071_d7005cbf97_o.jpg" width="1000" /> &nbsp; After Wakeke, we went to <b>Saroja Nasi Kuning</b> for take out. I heard this is a famous place to eat Nasi Kuning ala Manado. <img alt="DSCF0342" height="667" src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7707/16442315124_97fe86fb55_o.jpg" width="1000" /> <img alt="Nasi Kuning Saroja" height="747" src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7725/17063354392_5354019e7e_o.jpg" width="1000" />Manadonese Nasi Kuning is different than the one we have here in Jakarta. &nbsp; After that we spent the day to pray at my relative's house. Last day in Manado, my relative decided to take us out to try <b>Gohu</b> (shredded Papaya). <img alt="DSCF0356" height="667" src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7711/16444737543_09d045ba8a_o.jpg" width="1000" /> The soup has sweet and sour taste. &nbsp; <img alt="DSCF0357" height="660" src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7701/16878663019_1de42434a8_o.jpg" width="1000" />This one is <b>Es Brenebon</b> aka Es Kacang Cokelat. &nbsp; And to conclude our Manado trip, we went back to <b>City Extra</b> again with the big family :D What I love about this city is the FOOD! It's absolutely delicious!
